> Sorry, but are you saying that, now that we have fire and clothing and "whole cities in permafrost", hardly anybody really dies of cold anymore?

No, but how & how many people die to cold right now will be significantly different to how & how many people may die due to heat in the future due to climate change.

It is really just a strawman apples to oranges comparison to make here at all, because also:

And I'm further saying that climate change will likely also not change due to how many people die to cold right now.. where do you have this from? We get more persistant extremes both directions, right now!

> no point arguing mere statistical matters.

That's cheap... so no numbers or relative scale?
